This is not a Drill

Ceci n'est pas un exercice

Acrobats in protective suits rehearse an extremely dangerous emergency. Just like all of us, they have reason to worry. But fear and inertia don't help. Artistic ability and practice do. With humour and intelligence, mockery and slapstick, the young acrobatic collective invites us to live music, artistry and community. The audience assists them to develop ideas and discovers new powers together. A spectacular artistic challenge that ignores the boundaries between stage and audience.
